FOSDEM CICD 2025

⚠️ Call for Papers is open and will close on December 1, 2024

Why

Testing and Continuous Delivery devroom is coming again to FOSDEM. This room is about building better software through a focus on testing and continuous delivery practices across all layers of the stack. The purpose of this devroom is to share good and bad examples around the question “how to improve quality of our software by automating tests, deliveries or deployments” and to showcase new open source tools and practices. 

What

Since this devroom has been a regular at FOSDEM, here are some ideas of what we would like to see, and what worked in prior years, they’re just ideas though. Check out the Archive for inspiration.

Testing in the real, open source world

  • War stories/strategies for testing large scale or complex projects
  • Tools that extend the ability to test low-level code, e.g. bootloaders, init systems, etc.
  • Projects that are introducing new/interesting ways of testing “systems”
  • Address the automated testing frameworks fragmentation
  • Stories from end-users (e.g. success/failure)
  • Continuous Integration
  • Continuous Delivery
  • Continuous Deployment
  • Security in Software Supply Chain
  • Pipeline standardization
  • Interoperability in CI/CD
  • Lessons learned

Cool Tools (good candidates for lightning talks)

  • Project showcases, modern tooling
  • How your open source tool made developing quality software better
  • What tools do you use to setup your CI/CD
  • Combining projects/plugins/tools to build amazing things “Not enough people in the open source community know how to use $X, but here’s a tutorial on how to use $X to make your project better.”

Where

FOSDEM 2025 will be hosted in person at ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium.
